I struggled with month 2, basically because I psyched myself out. The extra time attached to each workout made it hard for me to want to put my all into each workout. I felt like if the workout was shorter, I could push harder - but if the workout was an hour...I felt like half-assing it all the way through.

I made it to month 2, week 3.

Truthfully...it's tough and a big jump. Longer workouts and tougher exercises. If I had written the programme I'd make it 90 days and month 2 would alternate between the same session length with tougher exercises with longer sessions with more month 1 exercises. I also got injured in month 2 and took ages to finally get my hamstrings back healthy!

So I'd go with week 1 and see how you feel. Be aware of how your body feels and as truthful as you can as to whether it's good for you or too much. If it's the latter then perhaps accept it might take 70-80 days and build in an extra day or so each week with one of the recovery sessions.

PS. Being a bit too driven I followed it to the letter BUT wouldn't do that again and nowadays mix month 1 and 2 or T25 to have easier days...
